I was drawn to programming, science, technology and science fiction
ever since I was a little kid. I can't say it's because I wanted to
make the world a better place. Not really. I was simply drawn to it
because I was drawn to it. Writing programs was fun. Figuring out how
nature works was fascinating. Science fiction felt like a grand
adventure.
Then I started a software company and poured every ounce of energy
into it. It failed. That hurt, but that part is ok. I made a lot of
mistakes and learned from them. This experience made me much, much

Install Python 3.6 in Amazon Linux
# A virtualenv running Python3.6 on Amazon Linux/EC2 (approximately) simulates the Python 3.6 Docker container used by Lambda
# and can be used for developing/testing Python 3.6 Lambda functions
# This script installs Python 3.6 on an EC2 instance running Amazon Linux and creates a virtualenv running this version of Python
# This is required because Amazon Linux does not come with Python 3.6 pre-installed
# and several packages available in Amazon Linux are not available in the Lambda Python 3.6 runtime
# The script has been tested successfully on a t2.micro EC2 instance (Root device type: ebs; Virtualization type: hvm)
# running Amazon Linux AMI 2017.03.0 (HVM), SSD Volume Type - ami-c58c1dd3
# and was developed with the help of AWS Support
